SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill fixes missing or incomplete Nyquist validation artifacts after a phase is finished, so you don’t ship regressions caused by absent validation coverage.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Retroactive validation audit: Checks whether VALIDATION.md exists and verifies Nyquist validation coverage for the completed phase.
  • Reconstruction from artifacts: If VALIDATION.md is missing but SUMMARY.md exists, reconstructs what validation should have covered based on available phase outputs.
  • Failure-safe guidance: If the phase was not executed, stops and provides guidance on what to do next instead of guessing.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to run the phase audit for a specific phase number and update or generate the corresponding VALIDATION.md and test files.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix missing Nyquist validation coverage after a project phase is completed?

Run a retroactive validation audit to fix missing Nyquist validation coverage. This process checks if VALIDATION.md exists and generates the required test files to fill documentation gaps for completed project phases.

Can I reconstruct validation artifacts if only SUMMARY.md exists for a finished phase?

Yes, you can reconstruct validation artifacts from SUMMARY.md. When VALIDATION.md is missing, the tool rebuilds the expected validation coverage directly from available phase outputs documented in the SUMMARY.md file.

What happens when I run a phase validation audit on a phase that was never executed?

When running a phase validation audit on an unexecuted phase, the process stops safely and provides guidance. It exits without guessing, telling you exactly what to do next instead of generating empty test files.

How do I generate test files for workflow orchestration phases that lack documentation?

To generate test files for workflow orchestration phases lacking documentation, perform a post-mortem remediation. This updates VALIDATION.md and creates missing test artifacts to close Nyquist validation gaps.

When should I run a validation audit for software engineering phase remediation?

You should run a validation audit for software engineering phase remediation immediately after a phase finishes. This prevents shipping regressions caused by absent validation coverage and ensures all test artifacts exist.
